As a seasoned crypto investor with a few battle scars from past market turbulence, I find myself intrigued by the upcoming launch of EllipX, the new exchange from none other than Mark Karpeles, the phoenix rising from the ashes of Mt. Gox. Given my own experiences with opaque exchanges and their sometimes questionable practices, I am encouraged to see Karpeles’ emphasis on transparency and user-friendliness.


Mark Karpeles, ex-CEO of Mt. Gox, is preparing to unveil a new cryptocurrency exchange called EllipX towards the end of this month.
